Fate of the Norns

You’d be surprised how quickly the party’s abilities escalate. I’ve got one player who recently boosted his parry to 24 with some clever multiclassing, a couple metas, and a little help from the party blacksmith.

This would have been a much better way of running it. I felt like I narrated things well, but I also felt like my players were well equipped to shut it down, so I was in a position where it was either “well this is over now” or “Yeah no that doesn’t work.” Like the frost mauler gauntlets on a berser...

I have done a...subpar job thus far of emphasizing the apocalyptic environment. My players *always* forget that it’s always night, and I’ve done very little with the cold aspects. I’ve decided that a great way to drive home the cold and ice is with a blizzard. I want to run it as a skill challenge a...

Hey, not asking anything about the mechanics of blood wolves, just curious how people like to describe their appearance for their game. Do they look different from a normal wolf, or is the only difference size, basically making them dire wolves? Is it some sort of gruesome, macabre, blood creature? ...

Dvergar lore book sounds fascinating! My players are learning about the Whitesmith’s Guild now, and Svalms is gonna reward them each with personalized Dvergar engineering items. I also have plans for an evil blacksmith villain, and the Dvergar lore sounds wildly helpful for such an undertaking. In r...

Also, while on the topic of skills in LOTA, Burial has a line that reads “An Angel of Death utilizing this skill is automatically granted 1 free success is her specialization matches how the deceased perished.” Is that specialization determined by subclass? I didn’t see anything to denote a speciali...

Flipping through LOTA skills, and I see Bloodsmithing and Preternatural Physical, Mental, and Spiritual Prowess. Thing is, the only other place in the entire book I see bloodsmithing is in the item description for Laevettin, which is still 1 more time than I see any of the preternatural skills. Are ...

The exact wording of Drunken Songs is “If you are drunk, add 5’ range per level of drunken level (0-4).”

What does this apply to? Attacks? Spells? Spell songs? Everything?
